How to Manage Extensions in Safari on Mac and More

Like Google Chrome, Apple’s Safari browser for Mac allows you to use extensions. I’m sure you’ve heard of browser extensions, even though you may have not used them before. In the case of Apple’s Safari browser for Mac, there are many extensions you can download and install that can greatly improve your web browsing experience. That’s because Safari extensions enhance the browser’s functionality. In this guide, I will show you how and where to manage extensions in Safari on Mac and more.

What is Safari Extension and How to Install It

As its name suggests, extensions are generally described as software modules that you can use to customize the browser you use. They extend the functionality of a web browser. A single extension installed on your browser can greatly improve the way you browse the internet and the tasks that you need to do.

For the Safari app for Mac, extensions allow you to do many things, such as display social media and news buttons, block content on websites, extend your access to apps, and more.

In case you’re wondering where to get Safari extensions, you can find and download them from the App Store. All the Safari extensions that you can find from the App Store are vetted by Apple just like any other app. So. you are sure that those extensions are safe and won’t harm your Mac in any way.

How to Install Extensions in Safari on Your Mac

Time needed:  1 minute

To install an extension for Safari on your Mac, just follow these steps.

Choose the one you would like to install.

How to See and Manage Safari Extensions

When you’ve installed Safari extensions, you may not notice some of them at once. Some stay hidden and work in the background. Others appear when you are about to do something in Safari that needs the installed extensions. For example, if you installed the Grammarly Safari extension, you will only see it working when you’re composing a text or message.

To see and manage the Safari extensions on your Mac, simply open the Safari app, then click Setting s > Extensions .

From here, you can do several things.

• Turn an extension on or off by deselecting the extension’s checkbox.
• Use the Safari extensions on your other Apple devices, as long as you’ve signed in with the same Apple ID on your other devices. In addition, you must have Safari turned on in iCloud, enabled two-factor authentication, and selected Share across devices .
• Change an extension’s settings.
• Remove an extension by selecting it, then clicking Uninstall . You may also delete the app that contains the extension.

Relatedly, iPhone or iPad users can check out our separate guide on how to manage Safari extensions on those devices.

How to Remove Unwanted Extensions

In case you’re asking yourself, “How do I remove unwanted extensions in Safari?” This only takes a few simple steps.

• In the Safari app on your Mac, Click Settings .

• If you don’t want to remove the app, you can just disable its extension.
• If you want to remove the app as well, simply click the Show in Finder button.

• Click Move to Trash .

How to Edit Safari Extensions

Another question that you might ask yourself is, “How do I edit Safari extensions?” For that matter, can you edit Safari extensions? The answer to the second question is yes. Unfortunately, however, editing Safari extensions requires you you to be knowledgeable about the Safari Extension builder.

You will also need to execute a Terminal command that extracts all the files contained in the extensions you’ve downloaded. Then, you have to edit it with the Safari Extension Builder. This is something I hope a general user won’t need to do, but if you like to tinker and customize the add-ons for your browser … more power to you.

Final Words: Remove Unused and Unsupported Safari Extensions

Safari will regularly inform you when there are extensions that slow down browsing or when they are no longer supported by Safari. Be sure to remove or delete these extensions.

There may also be instances when extensions can slow down browsing if they are installed but not enabled. So, be sure to enable Safari extensions after installing them.

How to use Safari extensions on your iPhone and iPad

Along with some extensions to try.

One of the handiest types of software in anyone’s quiver is the browser extension: those cool little applets that let your browser do what you want it to do. And one of the nicest things about iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 is that you can now add extensions to the Safari browser. Even though this is a new feature that launched with the latest iOS version, there are already a number of useful extensions available for you to add.

What follows is a rundown on how to add extensions to your Safari app — while we’ve illustrated the process using an iPhone, you can follow the same basic directions with an iPad. We’ve also included a sampling of some extensions you can try.

How to add extensions

• Tap on the Settings app.
• Scroll down to and select Safari > Extensions.
• Any extensions that you’ve already installed will be listed here. Tap on “More Extensions” if you’d like to see what’s available in the App Store. (You can also simply go to the App Store and search on “Safari Extensions.”)

• Once you’ve installed your first extension, you’ll see a little “puzzle piece” icon on the left side of Safari’s address bar. Tap that, and the menu that pops up will include your current extensions plus a “Manage Extensions” selection, which lets you toggle your extensions on and off.

Some extensions to try

This is a small sampling of some of the extensions that you can now access via the App Store. While there are not many extensions yet available (compared to the number of extensions for, say, Chrome), it’s a pretty safe bet that there will be lots more to come over the next few months.

Amplosion ($2.99)

AMP, which is short for “Accelerated Mobile Pages,” is a web format created by Google to optimize search results for mobile browsers. However, if you’d rather not have Google tweaking the webpages you upload, you can use Amplosion to redirect the AMP links that show up in search results into normal mobile links.

Noir ($2.99)

When you’re browsing at night and you’ve set your iPhone or iPad to dark mode, you will often hit a website that is bright enough to make your eyes water. Noir allows you to set a dark mode for all the websites you visit.

1Password (subscription needed)

1Password is a well-known and respected password manager . If you’re a 1Password user, there’s no question that you’re going to want to add this one to your mobile Safari app.

Super Agent for Safari (free)

This handy extension automatically fills out a website’s cookie consent forms based on your preferences, which can save you a lot of time and irritation.

Web Inspector (free)

Something for developers: an app that lets you inspect the HTML coding of a website, modify it, debug it, and perform other essential tasks.

Here are the best new Safari extensions to download for iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 (Updated)

One of the flagship new features in iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 is the redesigned Safari web browser. While the highlight of the new Safari is its user interface, it also gains compatibility with more powerful, Mac-like browser extensions. Now that iOS 15 is available to download, there are plenty of extensions hitting the App Store, and we’ve put together a list of some to try out.

Users of 1Password will love the new Safari extension in the latest update. The 1Password extension gives you the ability to see any password right in Safari and fill in password fields with saved ones. The extension can automatically fill in two-factor authentication codes as well. If you’re using an iPad, you will get the entire desktop 1Password experience. The extension will appear in the toolbar for you to access at any time.

The developer behind Apollo for Reddit, Christian Selig, has created a new Safari extension called Amplosion. Amplosion redirects you to the original webpage when you open an AMP link in Safari. The app also lets you keep track of how many times you’ve visited an AMP link and how many times you’ve used Amplosion to avoid one. Amplosion is priced at just $1.99 and if you hate AMP as much as I do it’s well worth it.

Christian has also created an extension that adds an HTML web inspector to Safari. The app is priced at $0.99 and is well worth it – since Apple still hasn’t added its own inspector.

CardPointers

The new CardPointers Safari extension knows what deals you may be able to take advantage of on different shopping websites. CardPointers says that it’s compatible with thousands of websites. While shopping in Safari with the extension enabled, you’ll get a notice telling you which card to use for the best deal as well as any special offers.

Cheep is an app that helps you find deals on Flights. With its latest update, it adds a Safari extension for use with Google Flights. The extension helps determine the cost per mile, distance in miles, and recommends whether or not you should book the flight. Cheep is free.

Am excited for Cheep launch for iOS 15 today! https://t.co/IgcZ7i1upe – safari extension for google tells you the miles, cost per mile, and rating – personalize airline alliances for mileage run deals – minimum fare rating you want to see – integration with TikTok and Instagram pic.twitter.com/RpJ84MYmys — Chum (@jchum) September 20, 2021

Web Inspector

This app is a simple web inspector that appears to be designed to look familiar to those who frequently use one in Chrome on the Mac. This extension lets you inspect webpages and edit their elements, enter JavaScript commands, view network requests, and more. It’s also entirely free.

I just released Web Inspector for iOS and iPadOS. It's a Safari extension for web developers to edit web pages on the fly, debug JavaScript, and more. It's free with no in-app purchases: https://t.co/u5mBSkMKnV pic.twitter.com/U1PdXv9VjK — Zhenyi Tan (@zhenyitan) September 20, 2021

HyperWeb is a new extension that adds the ability to customize just about anything you want to in Safari while browsing the web. The app lets you create blockers, personalize search, and customize the design of webpages. The app can also recommend enhancements to enable to make the extension more powerful.

Language Translator by Mate

Safari already has some translation features built-in but a new app from Gikken called Language Translator can help you take things to the next level. The app’s new Safari extension can automatically translate sites in 40 languages without any work required by the user. You can also select text and get a pop-up window if you want to translate it to another language. The app is pricey though at $29.99 but if you frequently need to translate different sites in a multitude of languages it might be worth the buy.

Vidimote is a new Safari extension that allows you to control video playback from the toolbar. The extension lets you change the speed of videos, jump ahead, switch between PiP and fullscreen, and more. Vidimote is $4.99 and available now.

StopTheMadness

StopTheMadness is a Safari extension that helps you take control of websites you frequently visit. The extensions lets you enable native iOS features like contextual menus, text editing, drag and drop, and autofill. The extension also improves privacy on the web by stopping clickjacking for different services among other things. StopTheMadness is priced at $7.99 on the App Store.

7 iphone and ipad safari extensions worth installing.

Safari Extensions arrived in iOS 15, so we made a list of our favorites.

Quick Links

Managing extensions for safari on iphone and ipad, dark mode everywhere: turn off the lights or nitefall, manage your tab problem: startpage.ai, dismiss cookie permissions pop-ups: super agent, liberate your videos: pipifier, manage your passwords: 1password, disable amp and much more: hyperweb, a welcome enhancement for safari.

With the arrival of iOS 15, Safari for iPhone and iPad gained proper extensions. Apple has taken the same curated App Store approach as it did with Safari for Mac, vastly improving Safari's web browsing capabilities.

Here are some of the highlights, and a brief overview of how extensions work on iOS and iPadOS.

Extensions for the Safari browser on iPhone and iPad are managed using the App Store. You can search for new extensions as you would any other app, and updates are managed by the App Store and can be applied automatically too.

You'll even find a dedicated Safari Extensions category in the App Store app by tapping the Apps tab then scrolling down to "Top Categories" and tapping See All > Safari Extensions.

When you have enabled one or more extensions you will see a small icon in the address bar that looks like a puzzle piece. Tapping on this will show active extensions and a "Manage Extensions" option where you can enable and disable extensions quickly.

Due to Apple's careful approach to privacy in iOS , expect to be asked to grant permission to certain websites or services. Some apps require "Access" to every website they are designed to work with, while others may ask to filter your traffic if they are designed to block certain types of content.

You can go to Settings > Safari > Extensions to see a list of currently installed extensions, what each has access to, and any privacy disclosures. You can also give an extension full access to all websites here, which gets rid of the frequent permissions pop-ups.

You should make sure you fully understand the risks of allowing an app developer to access this information. A similar comparison can be made to third party keyboards , which may require "Full Access" and thus be able to store or transmit anything that is typed.

Many websites now support dark themes either with a toggle or by detecting your device's current settings. Many still don't, and that's a problem when you're trying to browse at night. Turn Off the Lights is one such free extension that attempts to remedy this.

On Safari, the app works by adding a semi-transparent dark overlay. This has the effect of dimming page content without inverting colors, so things appear much dimmer. The benefit of this approach is that it leaves page styles alone which means you're less likely to run into problems with page styles or readability.

It's not foolproof and some websites resist the extension, while the overlay can be a little temperamental at times. It also lacks the customization that you'll find on the desktop version.

Nitefall is a good alternative if Turn Off the Lights falls short. It's also free but can only be used on a limited number (25) of websites. It has three dark themes, support for maps, and site-specific settings but if you want to use it on more websites you'll need to upgrade for a one-off fee of $3.99.

Do you have a nasty tab habit? Culling hundreds of tabs using Safari's tiled view is tedious even on the latest devices. It's not possible to read the full website name or URL, and many older tab previews will be purged. Startpage.ai makes this process much easier.

Once you've set new tabs to open with Startpage.ai you'll see a neat list of all current tabs, with the most recently used at the top. Each tab title is listed with its URL, and you can even filter tabs using the search bar at the top. You can then close each tab with a tap of the red "Close" button.

There's even a dark mode toggle at the top of the screen for managing your tab addiction after dark. An essential extension for anyone who never closes tabs, and something Apple should probably copy to make managing tabs in future versions of Safari less of a mess.

Cookie warnings are one of the most annoying things on the modern internet. It's not necessarily a bad thing that websites now have to ask you before tracking you or gathering information, but cookie warnings introduce additional steps to reading almost any article on the web.

Super Agent is one extension that can help. Install the extension then set your cookie preferences in the app and let Super Agent take care of the rest. The extension will action your preferences on a large number of websites (though not all websites are supported).

Cookies are split into three sections: advertising, functional, and performance. Any that don't fit these categories are automatically blocked. There's no subscription, and the accompanying app makes it easy to manage your preferences.

Previously a plug-in for the desktop version of Safari, PiPifier does one thing and it does it well: restoring picture-in-picture functionality to videos across the web. Apple added this handy feature to Safari in iOS 14, but it hasn't always worked everywhere. The feature allows you to watch a video in a frame while using other apps, and it has a transformative effect on iPhone and iPad multitasking.

Notably, YouTube blocks picture-in-picture mode on Safari for iPhone and iPad in a bid to get you to use the YouTube app. The YouTube app currently sells this feature back to you as part of a YouTube Red subscription. PiPifier restores picture-in-picture mode to the web version of YouTube, allowing you to use the full functionality of Safari with YouTube once more.

If you use 1Password then the app's accompanying Safari extension provides a "desktop-class" experience. Of course, the extension isn't going to be of much use to you if you use another service like LastPass or Apple's iCloud Keychain (which already integrates nicely with Safari ).

You can use the extension to autofill details like passwords , credit card details , two-factor authentication codes , and more. You can also quickly access any favorite credentials or notes, and add new items to your 1Password account.

If you want one extension that includes most of the separate enhancements listed above, Hyperweb is what you're looking for. It's the Swiss army knife of mobile Safari extensions, providing features like dark mode (by inverting colors), cookie pop-up management, picture-in-picture plus content blocking, and search engine personalization too.

Related: What Is Google AMP, and Why Is It In My Search Results?

Hyperweb also allows you to apply custom styles and run custom user scripts from websites like Stylish and Greasy Fork which can change the look and feel of some of your favorite websites. It also blocks Google's AMP (Accelerated Mobile Project) pages when visiting from a search engine, and it's currently the only free extension to do so.

If you use third-party apps for services like Twitter, Reddit, or YouTube you can force content to open in apps like Tweetbot, Apollo, or Syndromi. You can also direct Apple Maps to Google Maps, open streams in apps like VLC, or send PDFs to PDF Expert.

Hyperweb's most powerful feature allows you to create your own rules known as local enhancements. You can set "If" and "Then" parameters that target specific URLs, domains, pages, and search engines that go well beyond the included enhancements. You can only create one of these rules in the free version, or you can pay $2.99/month to unlock the extension's functionality.

Downloading videos from Safari can be a convenient way to access your favorite content offline, whether it's a tutorial, a music video, or a captivating documentary.

By following a few straightforward steps, you can effortlessly save videos from Safari for later viewing, even when an internet connection is unavailable.

In this guide, we'll explore the process of downloading videos from Safari, providing you with the knowledge and tools to accomplish this task with ease. Whether you're using a Mac, iPhone, or iPad, the methods outlined here can be adapted to suit your specific device and preferences. With the right approach, you'll be able to enjoy your favorite videos at your convenience, without being tethered to an internet connection.

Let's delve into the steps required to download videos from Safari, empowering you to enjoy your favorite content on your terms. Whether it's for entertainment, education, or inspiration, having the ability to download videos from Safari can greatly enhance your digital experience. So, let's embark on this journey to unlock the potential of offline video access, making your browsing experience even more fulfilling.

Step 1: Open Safari and find the video you want to download

When it comes to downloading a video from Safari, the first step is to open the Safari browser on your device. Whether you're using a Mac, iPhone, or iPad, the process begins with launching the Safari app and navigating to the website where the video is located.

Once Safari is open, you can use the address bar to enter the URL of the website hosting the video. Alternatively, you can utilize Safari's search functionality to look for the specific webpage containing the video content you wish to download. This could be a video-sharing platform, a news website, a social media platform, or any other site where videos are accessible.

Upon reaching the desired webpage, take a moment to locate the video you want to download. Videos on webpages can be embedded in various ways, so you may need to scroll through the content or click on specific links to find the video. In some cases, the video may start playing automatically, while in others, you may need to click on a play button to initiate playback.

It's important to ensure that you have permission to download the video, as unauthorized downloading of copyrighted content may infringe on intellectual property rights. Once you've identified the video you wish to download and confirmed that you have the right to do so, you're ready to proceed to the next step in the process.

By carefully navigating Safari and locating the video you want to download, you're setting the stage for the subsequent steps in the video downloading process. With the video in view, you're now prepared to move on to the next phase, which involves copying the video URL to facilitate the download process.

This initial step sets the foundation for a seamless video downloading experience, allowing you to access and enjoy your favorite videos at your convenience. With the video identified and ready for download, you're well on your way to building a library of offline content that aligns with your interests and preferences.

Step 2: Copy the video URL

Once you've located the video you want to download in Safari, the next crucial step is to copy the video's URL. The URL, or Uniform Resource Locator, serves as the unique web address that points to the specific location of the video on the internet. By copying this URL, you'll be able to provide the necessary information to the video downloader website or app, enabling it to locate and retrieve the video for download.

To copy the video URL in Safari, you can employ a straightforward approach that varies slightly depending on the device you're using. If you're using a Mac, you can simply click on the address bar at the top of the Safari window to highlight the video's URL. Once the URL is highlighted, you can right-click and select the "Copy" option from the context menu that appears. Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut "Command + C" to copy the URL after it's been highlighted.

If you're using an iPhone or iPad, the process of copying the video URL is equally intuitive. When you've located the video on the webpage, you can tap and hold on the address bar to highlight the URL. After the URL is highlighted, you can tap "Copy" from the options that appear. This action will copy the video's URL to your device's clipboard, making it readily available for the next step in the video downloading process.

By copying the video URL, you're effectively capturing the digital address of the video, allowing you to transfer this information to the video downloader website or app. This step is essential for initiating the download process, as the URL serves as the key to accessing the video content from its online location.

With the video URL copied, you're now equipped with the vital information needed to proceed to the next phase of downloading the video. This simple yet pivotal action sets the stage for the subsequent steps, bringing you closer to the gratifying experience of having your desired video readily available for offline viewing.

Step 3: Use a video downloader website or app

After copying the video URL from Safari, the next step involves utilizing a video downloader website or app to initiate the download process. Video downloader tools are designed to facilitate the retrieval of online videos, allowing users to save them for offline access. These tools come in various forms, including websites that offer online video downloading services and dedicated applications that can be installed on compatible devices.

When it comes to using a video downloader website, the process typically begins by navigating to the site's homepage using the web browser of your choice. Once on the website, you may encounter a designated input field where you can paste the video URL that you previously copied from Safari. After pasting the URL into the provided field, you can initiate the download process by clicking a button or selecting an option to begin the video retrieval.

Alternatively, if you opt to use a video downloader app, you can launch the application on your device and locate the functionality that allows you to input the video URL. Depending on the specific app you're using, this may involve accessing a designated section for downloading videos, pasting the URL into a specified area, and initiating the download process through a series of on-screen prompts or buttons.

It's important to note that there are numerous video downloader websites and apps available, each offering its own set of features and capabilities. Some may support a wide range of video hosting platforms, while others may specialize in specific types of content or offer additional functionalities such as video format conversion or batch downloading.

When selecting a video downloader website or app, it's advisable to consider factors such as user reviews, security measures, and the overall user experience. Additionally, verifying the legitimacy and reputation of the chosen downloader tool can help ensure a safe and reliable video downloading process.

By leveraging a reputable video downloader website or app, you can harness the power of technology to seamlessly retrieve the video from its online source. This step marks a pivotal moment in the video downloading journey, as it represents the bridge between the online video content and its transformation into a downloadable format for offline enjoyment.

With the video URL in hand and a trusted video downloader at your disposal, you're poised to progress to the final step in the process: downloading the video and preparing it for offline viewing. This transition from online to offline accessibility underscores the versatility and convenience that modern technology affords, empowering users to curate their digital content for personalized consumption.

Step 4: Download the video

With the video URL successfully copied and the video downloader website or app ready for action, the final step in the process involves initiating the download of the desired video. This step brings the entire video downloading journey to fruition, transforming the online video content into a locally stored file that can be accessed at any time, even without an internet connection.

When using a video downloader website, the process of downloading the video typically commences after pasting the copied URL into the designated input field. Upon initiating the download, the website's backend system retrieves the video from its online location and begins the process of transferring it to your device. Depending on the size of the video and the speed of your internet connection, the download duration may vary, but once completed, the video will be available for offline viewing at your convenience.

Similarly, if you're utilizing a video downloader app, the process of downloading the video involves pasting the copied URL into the app's interface and triggering the download functionality. The app's underlying mechanisms then come into play, fetching the video and saving it to a location on your device where you can easily access it. As with the website-based approach, the download time may fluctuate based on factors such as file size and internet speed, but the end result remains the same: a locally stored copy of the video ready for offline playback.

It's important to note that some video downloader tools may offer options to select the video format and quality before initiating the download. This can provide flexibility in tailoring the downloaded video to suit specific preferences, such as optimizing for device compatibility or conserving storage space. By choosing the desired format and quality settings, you can further customize the downloaded video to align with your individual requirements.

Upon completion of the download process, you'll have the satisfaction of knowing that the video is now readily available on your device, poised for offline viewing whenever the need arises. Whether it's a captivating documentary, an educational tutorial, or an entertaining music video, having the video stored locally empowers you to enjoy it on your terms, without being reliant on internet connectivity.

By successfully navigating through the steps of locating, copying, and downloading the video from Safari, you've unlocked the ability to curate your own collection of offline video content, tailored to your unique interests and preferences. This seamless transition from online discovery to offline accessibility epitomizes the convenience and empowerment that modern technology offers, enriching your digital experience in meaningful ways.

In conclusion, the ability to download videos from Safari opens up a world of possibilities for offline access to your favorite content. By following the simple yet impactful steps outlined in this guide, you can seamlessly transition from online video discovery to offline video enjoyment, all within the familiar confines of the Safari browser. The process begins with the initial step of opening Safari and locating the video you wish to download. Whether it's a captivating vlog, an insightful tutorial, or a mesmerizing music performance, Safari serves as the gateway to a vast array of video content waiting to be discovered and enjoyed.

Once you've identified the video of interest, the subsequent step involves copying the video's URL, effectively capturing the digital address that points to its online location. This crucial action sets the stage for the next phase, where you'll leverage a video downloader website or app to initiate the download process. The availability of various video downloader tools offers flexibility and choice, allowing you to select a method that aligns with your preferences and device compatibility.

The final step culminates in the gratifying act of downloading the video, transforming it from an online entity to a locally stored file ready for offline viewing. This transition underscores the empowerment that comes with controlling your digital content, enabling you to curate a personalized collection of videos tailored to your unique tastes and interests. Whether you're on a Mac, iPhone, or iPad, the process of downloading videos from Safari can be adapted to suit your specific device, ensuring that you have the flexibility to enjoy your favorite videos at your convenience.

Melissa mccarthy not sweatin' streisand's ozempic q ... babs says my bad, guys.

Melissa McCarthy is making it clear there is no beef between herself and Barbra Streisand after the latter's Ozempic ask -- and Barb herself is also issuing an apology over it.

After Babs caught some heat for asking if Melissa had shed some pounds thanks to the weight loss drug ... a photog caught up with the actress on the street in L.A. Tuesday -- where she said she still has love for the superstar.

MMC made it clear it was NBD at all saying ... "I think Barbra is a treasure and I love her." She even waved off the photog's question on whether she thought Barbra was out of line.

Obviously ... it's all water under the bridge, although -- Barbra did end up addressing this on her end directly ... issuing a mea culpa to Melissa and explaining how this flub even happened.

pic.twitter.com/WFUqosuosM — Barbra Streisand (@BarbraStreisand) April 30, 2024 @BarbraStreisand

BS wrote, "OMG - I went on Instagram to see the photos we'd posted of the beautiful flowers I'd received for my birthday! Below them was a photo of my friend Melissa McCarthy who I sang with on my Encore album."

Babs adds, "She looked fantastic! I just wanted to pay her a compliment. I forgot the world is reading!" In other words ... Barbra seems to have lost track of the fact both she and Melissa are A-list stars. Whoops!

Remember, Melissa and Barbra have a close relationship, with MM appearing on the singer's 2016 album, "Encore," just like Barbra mentions here. On the album, Melissa and Barbra sang a duet from "Annie Get Your Gun," titled "Anything You Can Do (I Can Do Better)."

Since then, Barbra has had a habit of leaving casual comments on Melissa's Instagram posts -- this one just happened to catch the attention of everyone who follows them, and beyond.

No harm, no foul ... Melissa isn't trippin' -- and Barbra's already putting it behind her.

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast , available on all podcast platforms.
